Swisher not on All-Star Ballot?

by gdub171 on May 18, 2006 12:19 PM PDT

Heading on to mlb.com to cast my 25 all-star ballots, i got to the AL outfield and low and behold, Jay Payton, MB, and Kotsay were all there; however, there was a glaring omission of our one true true candidate on the team... Swish. I put him as a write-in candidate (but those never make it). MLB needs to change this when they have so many terrible candidates to choose from, yet... no Swisher. I mean, he's the AL league leader in HR's from a full-time OF. (the 4 ahead of him are DH's)

i can't believe we'd trade Mulder

i totally thought that Zito would be the one to go, and he's the one we keep. we'll see how these new guys turn out: Haren (a reliever), Calero (his first name is Kiko - come one), and some minor leaguer.
